Abstract:It is well recognized that tourism development is a prominent contributor to climate change, but is also a "victim" of climate change. Therefore, to mitigate climate change is of great importance for the sustainability of tourism. Yet extant studies regarding tourism and climate change tend to be dominated by a supply-side stance, albeit the core role of the tourist in the tourism industry. While researchers are increasingly adopting a tourist perspective, few seek to understand the linkage between climate change and tourists' specific mitigation behaviors in a tourism context; this is especially so in China. This study investigates the impact of Chinese tourists' perceptions of climate change on their mitigation behaviors based on norm activation theory. Drawing on 557 self-administrated questionnaires collected in China, it finds that tourists' perceptions of climate change and perceived contribution of tourism to climate change both positively affect energy saving and carbon reduction behavior in tourism. Yet, compared with perceived contribution of tourism to climate change, tourists' perceptions of climate change are found to be a much stronger predictor for energy saving and carbon reduction behavior. Therefore, it suggests that tourists' perceptions of climate change in a general context is more strongly related to climate change mitigation behavior in tourism, calling for attention to go beyond the tourism context to alleviate the negative impacts of tourism on climate change.

“…Table 4 outlines the number of sole authored and co-authored reports. Generally, sole authored studies accounted for less than one third of the reports analyzed (29.2%), indicating a downward trend from 2001 to 2014, while the co-authored studies showed a rising trend, which was compatible with the research of [4]. Among the co-authored studies, although two-authored studies were in the dominant position, a slight increase in studies with multiple authors was noted.…”

Even with this increasing abundance, there is no study in the hospitality management or business ethics literature evaluating the progress or level of business ethics in the hospitality industry based on topics, methods, trends, and journals.…”

This study investigates how business ethics research has evolved in hospitality management (HM). This evolution is explored using bibliometrics from articles related to ethics published in HM journals indexed in SSCI. This study provides a broad view on ethics research in HM related to topics discussed, methods employed, and trends. As a first study of HM with a business ethics focus, the findings show several things. First, there has been a significant increase in the number of such articles. Second, the most popular topics are corporate social responsibility and natural environmental issues. Third, quantitative methods and primary data provided by hotels are dominant in many studies; qualitative, hybrid research approaches, and advanced statistical methods have become more common in recent years. Accordingly, referring to the findings related to this study, this article presents limitations of the study and future steps.Keywords: business ethics; codes; hospitality; journals; bibliometric analysis; topics; methods; trends.
